8 Things You Probably Shouldn't Know

1. I play guitar, mostly just for fun, but a couple of times I actually joined bands. The problem is that because I also own a bass guitar, I'm always ending up as the bass player (too many guitarists out there I guess) - One time I ended up in a band that performed at OOW SF. It was called "The Exception" and did gigs in two consecutive years at OOW.

3. I juggle. Not as much as I used too, but I can do a mean three ball set and hold 5 balls up in the air for several seconds.

4. I relocated to the US from Israel after an 8 year gig at Oracle Israel - which means that I'll be getting a nice bonus of $250 this year - Oracle's gift for the 15th year at Oracle anniversary.

5. My first "job" as a developer was with the Israeli army on a project that used Oracle Forms 2.0 and Oracle 5.0 as a DB - I remember the complex upgrade to Forms 2.3 with the exec macro, and the revolution of PL/SQL that came with Oracle 6.0. (maybe I should stop outdating myself now).

6. At one point in my military service I shared a room with another guy called Shai - who was doing a project on a Mac connecting to an Oracle DB at that time. Later this guy went on to become number 2 at SAP - his name is Shai Aggasi.

7. And if you were wondering about the name spelling of "Shay/Shai" in the last paragraph - the correct way to write it is in heberw, and the correct way to pronounce it is as if it was written as Shy.

8. I'm a mac convert because of the Oracle Developer Days.

I used to use a PC (and still am at work), but at one point Apple sponsored a round of the Oracle Developer Days, and we got macbook's that we could demo JDev on. I picked one for the weekend before the event I was suppose to go to, and ended up editing a DVD movie of my kids on it that weekend - and I was hooked.

I got an iMac, and recently another one, and I never looked back...

So there you go - 8 things that you probably didn't know about me, and that you probably don't care about.

Nice to hear about your Mac devotion. I am almost entering in that field too, but from your experience is a Mac (whatever the model) a good option for a developer?. I�m developing mostly with BPEL, ESB, Jdev, SOA Suite...and for example ESB Control doesn't show in Safari!!!...so could be a Mac a good option for a serious Oracle developer??
Thanx

From a JDeveloper perspective Mac is a decent choice most of the things would work. Although right now if you want to use ADF RC components you'll want firefox on it and not just safari.
(Maybe this will also solve your ESB Control issue).
The other thing that I miss on the Mac right now is an Oracle database - although you can always connect to a remote server for your DB needs.
One more option that I think would work is to use VMWare on the Mac to run an instance of XP for example and have the DB on that one.

sai, ADF is not open source, however you can get a free version of ADF with the ADF Essentials packaging.
ADF is included with any version of WebLogic, and is also available as a stand alone license from Oracle per server if you are running on third party servers.
Also note that you can get the source code for ADF if you have a support license.

In my Browser the component seems to work properly without any problems but if I expand each node then I can see in my log :

"<org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXCollection> <BEA-000000> <The row key or row index of a UIXCollection component is being changed
outside of the components context. Changing the key or index of a collection when the collection
is not currently being visited, invoked on, broadcasting an event or processing a lifecycle method, is not valid.
Data corruption and errors may result from this call...>"
